I'm no expert but looks like a Wilson Flyer to me.

dont know the make but it seems expensive for what it is..[condition wise]

 

defo not worth just under 3k for that. it looks like a wilson flyer and not in very good condition for that sort of money

 

It doesnt look like any seahog that i know about,more wilson flyer looking. also seems a bit pricey judging by the photos,but its hard to tell from a photo...:marinheir

 

Wilson Flyer/Pilot "type" boat.
IMO overpriced as others have said.
Better boats out there for nearly £3,000 :whistling

cheers for the comments fellas, the sellers didn't seem to know a great deal about it or have used it much tbh, perhaps I'll make a low offer .. or maybe just leave it ..

 

Dont let everyone put you off them, they are great little boats, very great, perfect hull shape, will take a lot of sea.

As for condition, use it as a bargaining point, your better of with a scruffy one in my opinion than a shiny one that has all sorts hidden under a nice new paint job.

But yes i think it is overpriced, get yuor haggle head on and take a grand off it.

Oh and i also think it is a flyer.

99.9% sure its a wilson with the shorter cabin. The trailer aint bad, its an indespension i think £800 new. Whats the engine on like? The electronics dont look to bad either?

That damage looks pretty bad though and like its been there for a while, getting to it to repair could involve cutting out cabin parts etc.

Wouldnt pay that much for it unless the engine was worth £1500+

 

thats a pilot dory mate. the wilson has got another moulded line down the sides.

good boat though. i used to have one years ago. loved it. only had a 40hp mariner on the back but went ok for what it was.

 

I"d be looking at £1,500 max assuming the engine is ok & the hull damage is easily enough repairable.
It looks from the picture that the hull is split right through to the wooden keel underneath & has been like it for some time. It may be quite a job to sort it out.

Agree that is the very Max i would offer,you are as pointed out in for a lot of work to make that seaworhy,take into account the engine may be in the same condition,if the boat has not been looked after it usualy follows the engine has not as well,when i bought my boat the gearbox was naffed,cost to replace engine £1,200 so take all this into conideration,and you have not started on the hull yet.And yes it is a Pilot

 

from the looks of that keel it certenly looks like it might have serious wet problems internally, far better to make sure of having a sound hull, if it goes down you could have a bloody long swim as well as being out of pocket. Sorry mate forget it, get one without the submarine option.:bye2:

I was going to say that,but once you get the I wants it`s difficult to dissuade and advise politely against.

 

start reading garry23flyer and sambotc's threads on boat re furbs, then think again about that boat plus i would agree the engine has probably not been looked after and may cost alot to sort, do you want to break down at sea?

 

its not a seahog but more of a dog i would stay away to much work :nono::nono::nono:

 

The engine's an Evinrude 60 VRO of unknown vintage and not recently serviced, from what I remember Evinrudes aren't the best of outboards and it needs a new throttle cable (the owner said he uses a piece of string to make sure it doesn't stall in neutral!?).

Electronics are Garmin GPS152 and Fishfinder 160C + Midland AtlanticXT handheld VHF.

There's some more pic's in the attached link (if it works)

Think I'll give it a miss as there are better cheaper ones on *bay.

Thanks again for the advice, no doubt I'll be back
